Slljc Jndcpcnhcnt. SATURDAY, SEPT. 16, 1899. ISSUED EVERY SATURDAY AT WALKERTON, . . . INDIANA W. A.Endley, - Editor and Publisher. ADVANCE.— There is a strong hope that President Loubert will pardon Dreyfus. Dewey is expected to arrive in New York about the first of October. Governor Mount will stump Ohio for the republicans during the present campaign. A Goshen man was arrested on a charge of provoke, having called acer tain attorney a “dead beat.” The court discharged the prisoner on the grounds of being justified. Cornelius Vanderbilt, head of the Vanderbilt family, is dead. He was the grandson of old Cornelius, founder of the Vanderbilt fortune. He leaves an „ estate estimated at SLCJ,CJO,OOO. w mra breytus i will never languish in prison for any length of time. It is a question wheth r he is even sent to prison to carry out the outrageous verdict of the court-martial. A hundred years ago the verdict in the Dreyfus case might no. have at traded unusual attention, b ”t such an outrage in this enlightened day strikes the world with horror and indignation. No such a disgrace would be allowed in any other country but France, unless it would be Spain or the Fiji Islands. If there is anything in the sugar beet industry, and there is plenty of evidence at hand to show that there is, it is the duty of every farmer, for the sake of his own welfare as well as that of his community, to investigate the subject and find out what there is in it. A diversity of crops is what the farmers want. It will make them independent and prosperous. The last issue of the Starke County Republican was published under the auspices of the ladies of the M. E. church of Knox. The paper contained interesting historical matter pertaining to Knox and the M. E. church, which was illustrated with half-tone cuts of public buildings, private residences and prominent citizens, making it a very entertaining and attractive edition and a worthy piece of enterprise. All previous high records probably will be broken by the corn crop production of the United States of 1899. Only an accident can prevent it. A canvass of the eight states which raise the bulk of the corn of the United States warr ante an estimate above that of 1896, which heretofore has been the record. in the advices re*""**oelvecrto7u6L?^^7prediction that the crop will approximate 2,500,000,CC3 bushels. One Hundred and Ten Years. The Winamac Republican says that < probably the oldest person in northern Indiana is now an inmate of the Pulaski county poor asylum. Her name is Catherine Stiles and she will be one hundred and ten years old in December A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapure of Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard St.. Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption had completely curea her of a hacking cough that for many years had made lifq a burden. All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this Royal Cure, “It soon removed the pain in my chest and I can now sleep soundly, something I can scarcely remember doing before. Ife like sounding its praises throughout the Universe,” So will every one who tries Dr. King’s New Discovery for any trouble of the throat, chest or lungs.

St. Patrick’s Church to Have a Resi- • dent Pastor. St. Patrick's Catholic church of this place will have a resident pastor from ’ this time on. Rev. Father Henry Kop- ; pel, of Fort Wayne, the new pastor, was ■ i installed last Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock by Very Kev. Father L. A. ■ Moencb, of Valparaiso, assisted by the J former pastor, Kev. Father Bucheit. The new pastor is a young man 30 years old and he will bring great energy and ability into his new work, which will redound to the continued up building and prosperity of the church, which has been making substantial progress in the last few years. Much credit is due Rev. Father Bucheit, through whose efforts, largely, a resident pastor has been secured for the church. The congregation of St. Patrick’s church will number about 40 families, which makes a good, strong membership. A parsonage will be built on the grounds near the church for the new pastor. Services will be held here regularly every Sunday at 10 a. m. Hamlet and Bremen will be missions tributary to this place, where services will be held during week days. Matrimonial. A quiet home wedding took place at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Arlington last Wednesday morning at 10:30 o’clock, it being the occasion of the TwffTageoLßieir granddaughter, Rufina McDonald, to Dr. M. S. Denaut. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Mattox, of Tyner, in the presence of only the immediate relatives. Immediately after the wedding breakfast the Dr. and his bride started upon their wedding trip, which will include Chicago, Milwaukee and points in Canada. The bride wore a traveling gown of blue broadcloth and carried pink roses. Both are highly esteemed young people. The bride is a talented musician and the groom stands high in his profession. They will make their home in Walkerton, the groom having lately entered a co-partnership with Dr. J. W. Arlington. They have the best wishes of many friends. The old time handshake, says an exchange, with all its warm, meaning significance, is about to be superseded by that cold, clammy, meaningless touch, known as the high handshake. When two friends meet now one invariably extends the hand in that old familiar way, expecting to express his pleasure in that good old grasp of years ago, when handshaking meant something, but it is met with his friend's hand poised almost on a level with the neck and the clasp he gets is so meaningless that words fail him. There is but one thing that will save the good old grasp of o’i r forefathers, and that is the fact that all secret societies, who have grips as one of their hidden signs of recogniz ing their members, have the handshake based on the old way. The ultrafashionable have decreed the new way, while we, common people, prefer and will cling to the “good, old Methodist shake,” as it is wont to be called. Chickens! Chickens!

My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bitters;' and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know’ they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed, at all drug stores. Chester H.

Mr. Lemert, with his son Dick, had just unloaded several barrels of apples at the mill, when he remarked to his eon that “that was pretty hard work.” He then immediately gasped and fell backwards in the wagon, dying almost instantly. Mr. Lemert had been in fairly good health, with the exception that his heart had troubled him some at times, though not to any severe extent. About 25 years ago he had heart disease quite badly, but of late years the disease had troubled him but slightly.
